Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Slice the eggplant, zucchini, summer squash and tomatoes into thin coins (1/16 inch thick).

- Add Siciliana Sauce and water and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Either arrange vegetables in the cast iron, starting on the outside and working your way in a circle or move the sauce to a casserole dish and arrange the vegetables in that. Make sure to alternate between different vegetables for a beautiful aesthetic.
- Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil.
